The alteration of the respective Article of the Constitution is aimed at the guaranteeing in an equal manner of private property while the present text stipulates for the protection by law of private property.

    The AUSTRALIAN Company Esmeralda which was accused of major pollution of the river Tisa and of the Danube rejected any accusation on Monday and even doubted the fact that cianides would be the cause of pollution. A spokesman of the Company told REUTERS' in Perth, Australia that a team of their specialists arrive at Baia Mare on Tuesday to examine the situation, RADIO ROMANIA ACTUALITATI mentions. RADOR
